An elderly Cherokee Native American was talking to his teenage grandson about life.
He said, “There is a fight going on inside of me between two wolves. One wolf stands for fear, anger, sorrow, resentment, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, inferiority, and ego. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, compassion, and faith.”
He looked the teenager right in the eyes and said, “This same fight is going on inside on you too.”
The grandson thought for a while and asked, “Which wolf will win?”
The wise elder simply replied, “The wolf that you feed.”
